Doof!

As Frost closed his eyes and moved in for the attack he suddenly felt a heavy force striking the underside of his chin. The blow was so strong and so unexpected that he literally blacked out for a second, before he knew what happened his body was flying through the air and crashing hard into their dining room table. The premium materials within working against him in this case, his body was the one to bear the brunt, bouncing off and leaving not even the slightest scratch.

"M...Maya?" Daki asked with a slight stutter equally surprised by what just happened.

Maya was smiling, looking at their boyfriend with love and affection, her lips were even a little puckered as if encouraging Frost to make a move on her, yet she responded with extreme violence. Was the grudge engrained deeper than she thought.

"Now he’s forgiven." Maya’s expression was much lighter and far bubblier after blasting Frost with an uppercut, violence always did seem to make her feel better. "Let’s go Daki." Following her outburst she turned to Daki, grabbed her arm and escorted her to the master bedroom, practically skipping with every step, unable to restrain the joy she was feeling after using her fists to solve a problem.

"Uhh....ok" Maya was acting so confidently and with such assurance that Daki found herself trailing after her, following her lead like a meek sheep.

Rustle rustle

Frost meanwhile struggled to a sitting position, his chin and back throbbing because of Maya’s sucker punch. His brain still hadn’t finished processing what just happened, he never expected his darling Maya to lure him into a false sense of security with that smile of hers.

"You coming or what?" While trying to find his bearings and stand he heard Maya’s voice coming from the bedroom door.

"Eh? We still get to have sex."

"Of course you’re not the only one’s that’s been starving." Hearing that Frost suddenly found his balance, immediately jumping with a pep to his feet.

"Hahahaha a punch to the face has never felt so worthwhile."

"Don’t celebrate too soon, it’s going to be angry pissed off sex for a while." She was still nursing a grievance, fully prepared to be a little passive aggressive for the next few days as was her right as a woman and his partner.

"Oh, I can work with that~" Rather than being dissuaded by her offer the young Dungeon core found himself growing excited, angry sex had its own appeal after all.

’Let’s see how long she can keep up this aggressive front.’ Emboldened he dashed towards the master bedroom faster than he’d every moved in his entire life and what ensued well let’s just say by the time dawn came both Maya and Daki were in catatonic states. Every inch of their skin sensitive and trembling from the after affects of their lover’s less than tender touch.

While Frost left the room with a smile on his lips that stretched from ear to ear the two women were lying flat on the bed with their asses hovering in the air, their bellies swollen from the night’s destruction and the injection of a copious amount of seed. A few erotic moans escaped their lips but nothing more, they wouldn’t be leaving this room anytime soon, Frost made sure of that.

"Better leave a note for Nanna and Loki." It wouldn’t do to have one of the kids walk in on them in their current state, their innocence needed to be preserved.

"Don’t bother Maya and Daki because they’re resting but please prepare hearty meals for the two of them." A simple note but a necessary one so as to prevent any accidents. It’d be at least another hour before either of them rose from their beds, but he couldn’t wait, duty calls.

"You look happy master." Frost teleported to one of the deepest floors in the Dungeon, a place that had zero chance of being intruded upon by adventurers. Waiting there were his right hand man, Findley, his left hand man Khuno and his secretary Yuna, the Dungeon’s strongest monsters.

"You would be happy to Findley if you just experienced bliss." Unfortunately his trusted ice troll commander had yet to learn of the pleasure that accompanied such activities, the same couldn’t be said of Khuno who had entered a rather serious relationship with Maressa, an amazonian adventurer he met several months back. The two even shared a knowing look, being the only ones with experience in the room, a look that went right over Findley’s head but not Yuna’s. She ground her teeth as envy filled her heart; she wanted to experience such bliss so damn much.

’Master’s so cruel to me.’ She internally complained while doing her best to present her brightest smile.

"Alright you all know why we’re here, Khuno why don’t you go first." Frost took a seat and rested his arms against a large wooden desk, one that was almost identical to the one he had in the Lord’s manor. This place was his second office, the place where he discussed the darker side of the Dungeon, away from the prying eyes of Nanna, Loki and sometimes even Daki.

"Yes master." Khuno first bowed in a military fashion before beginning his report. "During your absence I’ve successfully increased the ronso population to almost a hundred members, sixty of which are stationed within the city, thirty on the floor of peace and the last ten remain on the bottommost floors, acting as the Dungeon’s last line of defence. I’ve also enforced a shift schedule for these members, allowing each of them downtime as per your wishes." Frost took particular care of his monsters, the higher their rank the more invested he was in their development out with their regular duties. The Dungeon removed the need for sleep thus providing many hours in which his monsters could establish a proper functioning livelihood. They could enter relationships, take up a trade, a hobby, train their skills or what Frost really encouraged was reading, expanding their knowledge so as to increase their innate intelligence.

"Good work, a hundred C-rank ronsos, a mighty force indeed." Hearing such numbers inspired Frost, his forces weren’t as bad as he imagined....nothing compared to the War Ursa Battalion but still impressive. If he added on the ice trolls, the lesser yuki-onnas and the revenants then his high ranking forces would likely cross 200.

"What of the city’s security, has there been any mishaps during my absence?"

"Yes, there have been several but they were all handled effectively by the ronso security and or Lady Yuna." Khuno threw a nod in Yuna’s direction, impressed by the way she handled the traitorous council members alongside Maya and Daki.

"All offenders were swiftly killed within the confines of the Dungeon after several rounds of interrogation thus supplying us with a healthy dose of DP as well as much needed knowledge in regards to our supposed enemies." The bloodlust naturally oozed from Khuno’s body as he thought of the many, many transgressors.

"Oh and what knowledge is that." Frost mirrored the same level of bloodlust, as Khuno handed him a paper document listing the executed individuals and their crimes, his anger reaching palpable levels when he saw that Nanna and Loki had been targeted.

"Our primary enemy as you have long suspected Master is not the 2nd prince but the 1st. On the surface it appears as though Sedrick has been sending interlopers our way, buying off groups of individuals to act on his behalf but after some more intensive questioning we discovered that they have no tangible or even intangible connection to him."

"Did you find evidence or elicit a damning confession?" If he was to incriminate the crown prince of the Northrend empire he needed something solid otherwise he’d simply deny it or wriggle free from such accusations.

"Afraid not, he or whoever’s working on his behalf has covered their tracks well. All we managed to do is confirm that it isn’t Sedrick or those who are closely affiliated with him attacking us."

"Which means it has to be Randolph, as no other force has reason or means to influence us here."

’Tsk, sneaky little bastard!’ His hatred towards that despicable crown prince couldn’t get any worse, no one comes after his family and gets away with it.

"Yes he and those serving him appear to be the main perpetrators, funnelling out information, starting fights, lobbying our residents and even attempting assassinations but we’ve also had to deal with the occasional merchant group, bandit, as well your run of the mill criminal." With the influx of people entering the city skyrocketing over the past few weeks the amount of bad apples following in their wake was naturally climbing as well.

"I don’t care much about them, they’re nothing but small fries, easy to take care of given our location and means." Through the Dungeon menu system every single individual could be monitored and gauged, making it easy to anticipate a crime before it happened. As far as Frost was concerned such individuals were akin to a free meal, voluntarily offering up their precious life energy to his voracious maw.

"Keep a close eye on any patterns, if Randolph sends anyone else I want to know about it immediately." He regretted missing the chance to wring the necks of those daring to attack his territory personally, an enjoyable pastime for the young Dungeon core.

"By your command."
